'Mental block = an inability to remember or think of something you normally can do; often caused by emotional tension' <<< This is what I'm suffering rite now.

I read this article quite some time ago. A good article I should commend, somehow 'terkena batang idung sendiri'. Credit to iluvislam.com:

Ehem, Gambar Muslimahkah Ini?

www.iluvislam.com

oleh:private_xplorers

(dipetik dari blog WEWR ~khabar dari urdun~)

MUQADDIMAH

Terkadang bila melayari weblog-weblog rakan, menjelajah ke dalam dunia maya bagi manusia yang memayakan diri mereka, saya merasa hairan melihat sesetengah weblog muslimah, yang bertudung, yang menutup aurat, tidak segan silu pula untuk memaparkan gambar masing-masing.

Tiadalah terlalu salah untuk memaparkan gambar anda, ya muslimah sekalian, namun, sayangnya, anda terlupa bahawa gambar yang anda posting itu adalah gambar sebesar skrin 17 inci! Setiap butir jerawat dan bulu halus di muka anda terpampang rapi!

MUSLIMAH & GAMBAR : ADA APA DENGANNYA?

Tidaklah tujuan saya mengaibkan kalian. Saya adalah rakan kamu. Sahabat kamu. Yang enggan melihat wajah-wajah anda itu, dipaparkan sewenang-wenangnya kepada orang. Biarpun wajah bukan aurat mengikut sesetengah mazhab, namun tatkala fitnah mengundang, tidakkah ia melayakkan ianya ditutup dari pandangan umum? Muslimahku, Dunia internet semakin berkembang maju. Satu hari, satu weblog, mungkin berjuta-juta orang yang melihatnya setiap hari.

Di kalangan mereka ada yang bagus, yang menundukkan pandangan selaras firman Allah dalam Surah An-Nur “Katakanlah (Wahai Muhammad) kepada orang-orang lelaki Yang beriman supaya mereka menyekat pandangan mereka (daripada memandang Yang haram), dan memelihara kehormatan mereka. Yang demikian itu lebih suci bagi mereka; Sesungguhnya Allah amat mendalam pengetahuannya tentang apa Yang mereka kerjakan. ”

Namun, kita harus akui, bahawa di kalangan jutaan orang itu, ada yang hatinya sakit, ada yang jiwanya perit menanggung kesakitan akibat terlihat wajah-wajah kamu biarpun kamu bertudung litup. Muslimahku, Kalau kita lihat dunia gambar bukan main maju lagi. Dahulu, cuma setakat kamera yang perlu dicuci gambarnya. Kini, telefon juga menjadi kamera. Kamera pula lebih dahsyat, lebih instant, sesegera mee segera yang sama kerosakan yang dibawanya, penyakit hati. [Emphasis added]

Alangkah malangnya, kalau wajah-wajah anda yang terpamer itu, mengundang gejolak rasa di jiwa insan bernama lelaki, yang beriman akan beristighfar dan memujuk hati, manakala yang sakit jiwanya, akan mula mengganggu anda. Mula memburu anda dengan SMS, telefon, hatta mungkin mendekati anda, dengan tujuan memiliki anda….

Hanya kerana satu kesilapan yang mungkin anda tidak terniat, wajah anda terpampang besar di internet! Gambar adalah bayangan realiti. Namun mungkin juga ia fantasi. Kadangkala tertipu juga lelaki pada fantasi Photoshop, Fireworks dan seribu satu pengedit gambar lagi. Kalau itu memang tujuan anda, anda tanggung sendirilah. Tapi kalau niat anda cuma berkongsi, dengan tanpa sedar mengajak fitnah bertandang, maka amaran saya, hati-hatilah!

PENYELESAIANNYA….

Andalah sahaja yang mampu menyelesaikannya. Bukan orang lain. Diri anda, andalah yang harus menjaganya. Apa tujuan anda bertudung dan menutup aurat? Bukankah kehendak syariat dan ingin menutup pandangan orang kepadamu? Maka, soalan saya, menundukkan pandangan bukan kehendak syariatkah? Memaparkan wajah anda besar-besar menutup pandangan orang terhadap andakah? Kerana weblog-weblog dan web foto itu milik anda, seharusnyalah anda kecilkan wajah-wajah anda dengan mengecilkan saiz gambar itu.

Banyak cara boleh dilakukan menggunakan perisian pengedit gambar. Belajarlah daripada yang tahu. Hindarkanlah aksi-aksi dan posing-posing yang hanya akan menambahkan lagi kerosakan jiwa masyarakat. Sekiranya niat anda hanya ingin berkongsi dengan rakan muslimah anda, lakukanlah secara tertutup. Elakkan posting yang boleh dilihat oleh segala macam jenis orang. Kalau lebih mudah, anda kirim saja emel bergambar pada rakan muslimah anda itu.

Ingat, wajah anda, anugerah Allah.

Anugerah Allah itu hanya layak dilihat berkali-kali oleh yang layak sahaja...
Wallahu A’lam.. [Emphasis added]

Wanita solehah, Itulah sebaik-baik hiasan...

As We Move on~ :D

Assalamualaikum :)..

I called my family yesterday. I told my mom how sometimes I had this dream and when I woke up in the mornin, I felt like I was already in Malaysia. Well, I got the same dream yesterday. shut, am I homesick or somethin?

Btw
As I surfed the net just now, browsin the net like I got nothin to do, searchin the youtube for any videos that I might be familiar with, then..I found this treasure (credit to sho for the video):


Background story for the video:
The video was prepared for Minggu Apresiasi Puisi (or somethin..I can't remember precisely). If you are detail enuff, and look at the clock beside the door, we did this crazy clip at around 0130. Ooh, the video never played as we intended it to be (on the Puisi night). Got some glitches. Darn it. Anyways, it's pretty cool I think :p.

Man..how sometimes we can be so mengarut..hahaha

p/s : gotta delete this post b4 I start teachin.. hahahancurkan dia!!

The Problematic..Well..Me (sigh~)

Assalamualaikum :)..

Juz received my marked essay assignment.

"... but your written expression and grammar is problematic" (chanteet~)..

lesson learnt:

As I warned earlier, my English grammar isn't good (politically correct (PC) for bad)..

I do think the style used for my essay and posts here aren't that different.

Hence, don't (never kot) take my posts here as a benhmark for formal writings (academic essays), and grammatically-correct articles.

soo~

Towards a better grammar usage!!

Yooooosh~!!

p/s - I've been learning English for years now, with minute improvent. Well, better with some than none. Better to realize than to not :D~

Smile, Though Your Heart is Aching..

Assalamualaikum :)..

I had this discussion with a brother bout the issue of sabar and redha. He told me, there's this story from a friend of him (which he of course, made the name classified), which he claimed to be true. He told me how the guy fell in love with a girl (well..another one of those stories). How he struggled to keep the feelin towards himself, and tried to do the right thing; not to express his so-called love till d rite time comes (which i thought to get married..i dunno, jz my concern..heh).

Then one day, when he felt dat the 'day' for him to express his feelin is still faraway, and he couldn't hold it anymore, he broke his silence. He didn't ask for being a partner for the girl, as he knows a bit of Islam. How Islam controls pre-marriage male-female relationship. He just expressed his concerns towards the girl. The girl rejected him politely, saying dat she needs time to focus on her study and whatsoever the reasons. This pitiful guy took d words bit by bit, and didn't consider it to be a rejection. The guy continued his life, while still keeping the hope for the girl. Typical short-sighted teenagers.

Til one day, he found out that the girl is actually with someone else. The dual-frustration, of being lied to and being rejected, haunted him. And the mixed feelings he felt when the girl actually fell into this 'trap' of life for youngsters, 'couple'. He tried his best though to forget the misfortune event. But you see, it's not an easy feat. As we can't see any 'delete' button inside us to easily forget things that we don't wanna remember. So, the thorny journey begins.



Fortunately for him, he didn't do anything stupid to channel his frustration. He, shockingly enuff, tried to recover by getting as much knowledge as he could. The knowledge of life, the knowledge of Islam itself. We humans tend to forget the Almighty when we're in a situation where we feel comfortable (refer my previous post, 10 minutes, where I stated that our comfort is also a test for us). The question of whether or not he succeed, I dunno, neither the brother who told me the story. But there's a thing or two we can learn from this study case :).

1) Patience

Imam Al Ghazali, in his book, Ihya' Ulumuddin, explain patience = to endure all physical hardship. Be it Muslim or non-Muslim, everyone will be tested to see the level of his patience. Anger, frustration, sadness, you name it, even happiness, all these will stretch our limit of patience. Especially for Muslims, which Allah has stated in His Holy Book,

" Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "we believe," and will not be tested?" - Holy Quran 29:2

Allah has promised to test us, as a prove of our Iman. I remembered from a kuliah I heard. "You can judge your level of patience when you look at yourself when the misfortune befalls you. Not 10 years afterwards, but what's your immidiate respond towards the event".

This, brings us to the second topic.

2) Redha (sorry dunno what it's called in English :p)

I can't recall the exact formal meaning of redha. But from my limited knowledge and understandings, redha (as in us) is the optimism, the husnu zhon, to think positively to Allah and react accordingly. When we talk bout redha, we can't escape from talking bout Qada' and Qadar. Everything has been set for us. Allah knows the best.

Let's take example from our case study above. Let say, that guy choose to forget the girl totally, in order to please himself, to get rid the sadness and frustration. Let say the guy said, "well, I accept what's just happened. Redha je la. lupekan je". Is this really what redha means? For us to accept things according to our will, when something went wrong? This method only work if the girl isn't meant to be for him.

What if the exact girl is meant to be for him? To be his wife, while he had seed this hatred inside him in order to forget her. This kind of twist of event isn't impossible, Allah knows best. By that time, will he be redha to accept the very girl he tried hardly to forget? This is what Allah said in his glorious book:

"Jihad is ordained for you though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you don't" - Holy Quran 2:216

Though the context of the ayah is to encourage Muslims for jihad, look at the next statement from Him. We may hate something meant to be good for us, and vice versa. Allah knows the best, while our not so long-sighted views of life, knows not. Redha is to readily accept what is offered to us. As we don't know what is prepared for us, it's unwise just to wait for the 'rezeki' to fall, rather we must work for it.

We asked from Allah to be strong physically, mentally and emotionally. But do we work on that?
What kind of effort have we shown?
To be strong physically, there must be work out to be done..
To be strong mentally, there must be knowledge seeking going on..
To be strong emotionally, are we going to runaway from our problems and just pray be granted a strong and stable emotions?

About the study case (story above), I don't know how much of it is true. Hopefully he didn't make that up. The more important thing to me is, the lesson learnt from the story. Sometimes, we should put ourselves in others shoes to at least gain a bit of understanding of life.

I don't know where I heard this, but there're sayings regarding to this matter. Roughly it goes like this:

He is a wise man, who learnt from his experience.
He is even wiser when he learnt from others.

Jz sharing my 2cents.

Assalamualaikum :)..

I jz came back from the final night of Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival, a festival held each year (well at least since I came :p) to celebrate the coming of the Chinese New Year at Albert Park, jz behind the university. The 3-day event ended today, with a fireworks show. A magnificent show indeed. The colours, sounds they make. Wallaweh!!

From my casual observation, this year's event drawn more visitor than last year's. It's a healthy activity, where ppl from different backgrounds, come together and enjoy themselves. This is one of the example of harmony I've been talking bout :).

This is what the Holy Quran teach us:

"...made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another..." 49:13

Take the opportunities to learn something from others. Learn their cultures and find what good values can we share with them :).

Perak: A Thing or Two (or 3..erm, even 4 :p) to be Pondered Upon :D

Assalamualaikum :)..

I made myself clear that I dun wanna discuss the issue of 'lompat parti' in Perak or elsewhere. It's just that when surfing the net, reading the comments and even posts in blogs, forums, seems like, we're bursting out our emotion rather than rational aspect of the issue. This might not reflects to all, but to some, well, it's time to put on our thinking cap, shall we :).

1) 'Lompat Parti'

Are these people eating they're own words?

Before:

PR - 16 Sept Aspiration: where several MPs would change their side of seats in the parliament and support PR

BN/UMNO - 'Lompat Parti' is totally unacceptable, unethical and unjust.

After:

PR - The MPs who resigned are traitors.

BN - Le'ts just accept our MP who want to return to us

Question to ponder:

Sometimes it's not sufficient to judge from just seeing the effect of actions. We should ask ourselves, why do they give 'contradictory' statements. They're not morons (well, supposedly not). This is what I mean:

Why PR said 'lompat parti' from BN to PR is acceptable but not otherwise?

a) They believe the action was done on moral basis, they're (the Lompat MPs) not offered
any rewards for doing so.

b)The MPs who changed from PR to BN were all 'paid'.

*well then, to what extent the statements are true?

This is what we should look for. Not just by judging from their action of 'lompat parti'. We shouldn't waste our energy focusing to cure (in this case, comment) the symptoms, rather, use the symptoms to find the real 'disease'and act accordingly.

2) The BN's action of toppling the current Perak govt. without election

This is just giving a green light for others that this's permisable (@least 'morally'). Well, then we (or they (BN)) can't blame PR if the same reply is done by PR(whether it's on state level or national level). Coz they (BN) are actually the pioneer for this.

The question of whether with this step, it's a sign that the country isn't anymore steered by Rakyat. Instead, it's controlled by few political elites, Where they can 'lompat parti' and to support the other side of the political power without any consent from the Rakyat. They're 'Wakil Rakyat's. The Rakyat's reps. Their job is to represent Rakyat. Not to make their own personal decision (no matter how morally justified (which is a subjective matter) it is) that directly affect the Rakyat, without first, consulting the Rakyat. The concept of democracy, where Rakyat rule the country is being undermined (or, the flaws of democracy are starting to show themselves).

These are few questions that we should at least ponder upon, before we enter the stage of thinking bout the conspiracy theories, and other. We need to be clear of the situation before making up ur mind.

3) Extremists cannot be reasoned with

Be it PR or BN, the issue of extremism isn't new. Its not a problem at all to show our support towards our beliefs. The problem is to support blindly. To add the spices, let's make things worse with EGO, when we think we're the ones who know, the others info are totally unreliable. Totally reject others POV when they're not in line with ours. This attitude is the reason of the break ups within our community. "Oh yes, we're trying to develop the country. But first, let's just get rid of our competitors who didn't agree with us. So that we could develop the nation peacefully". Why don't we just accept that everyone wants the best for the nation. And there isn't only a single way to do so.

4) Racism

This is the saddest part of our society. We're being racist. We think our nation is superior than others. It's not wrong to think that way. It'll develop the sense of appreciating who you are and try your best to 'up' your nation. The problem is, when we belittle others. The problem with racism -why Islam detest racism - is becoz we don't choose our race when we're born. (for Muslims, we believe) It's Allah who chose who you are. In what nation or tribe ya'll be born in.

"...made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that who has At-Taqwa (being a person, who fear and love Allah strongly). Verily, Allah is the All-Knowing, Well-Acquainted" - Holy Quran, 49:13

The Prophet (s) said: "One who calls towards 'asabiyyah is not from us, one who fights for 'asabiyyah is not from us and the one who dies on 'asabiyyah is not from us." [Mizan al Hikmah, hadith # 13035] source

(I'm not a hadith literate (The sanad isn't there), do inform me if the hadith isn't a sahih. As I don't wanna share a place in Jahannam for sharing a 'hadith' which is not from Rasulullah (s))

It's a noble thing to preserve your rights and heritage, it's just the noble deed is 180-degreely turned when we deny others. Not everyone as good and not everyone as bad. The problem is when less good ppl talk bout less good things that influence others whom without enuff knowledge and understandings of what's goin on.

For Muslims, just remember the Day of Judgement. When all our deeds, our sayings, will be the very reason of our place in one of the two options; hell or heaven. No other place will be offered, unfortunately.

Kebaikan Karangan 'Menyambung Karangan' = Kreatif :D :D!!

Assalamualaikum :)..

I was talking ('ym'ing 2 be exact) with Ana'ruddin', my classmate at MARA College Seremban. We're talking bout lots of stuff, ngarut2 one, then suddenly, the topic of our childhood maniac.

1st, all of a sudden, we talked about ALONG (educational TV Programme by PNB, aired on TV1) and Siti Sifir with her funky specs.

Then Doraemon (where the dubbed voices actor and actress (what's the term for these guys ah?) can be heard in like every Bahasa Malaysia dubbed cartoon). Where else can you learn the meaning of bola lisut?wahahaha

Next, Power Rangers, with censored opening song, just becoz they had the word "Morphin". The similarities all these guys had? They're all aired 'wktu maghrib'. From 1900 - 2000.

When we talked bout these shows, we can't helped ourselves from talking bout the damn long and frequent ads. Apollo, Dindang, Tora, and so much more. I even remember 1 of Apollo ad song (rap style):

Ap Ap Ap Ap, Ap Ap Ap Ap, Ap Ap Ap Ap, Apollo,
Ikutlah rentak, rentak Apollo yeah,
Kacang bersalut coklat,
Pastinya snek lazat!
Ap Ap Ap Ap Apollo!!

Damn how I remember those lines. wahaha
How in our childhood we cursed those ads, hoping, praying so d ads wont shorten the 'lifetime' of our fav cartoons. How everytime we watch the cartoon, we looked at the clock, as we know the cartoon would only last for 30 mins (the most!!)

Speakin of which, those ads still survive till today. Wonder how can they last that long. Salute!! In their ads, Tora and Dindang for example, they're sooo friggin cheap. Their ads for topspins for example, we can actually, clearly see a white string attached on them. What a joke!!hahaha

Oh, now I remember. The reason we talked bout all these memories. Out of the blue, we suddenly had this rubbish. "apa yang pentiiing..kerjaaasama" from this suddenly-famous-cartoon, Wonderpet!! Oh, how we can be so good in developing stories (thanks to our education syllabus, 2 many of those "sila sambung karangan ini..." question).

Well, lesson learnt? Whether or not we realized it, we're getting older. So much older where we never thought of our life in this age when we're that young. The times when we think, adults are our parents,teachers, big cousins, and never (well, almost) thought that we'll someday be the 'adults'. Well, unfortunately enuff, time goes by, and we're now at that stage of life.

That's life. Same as death. We know people will die. But we still had this mentality of, well, like death is far from us. It's like, we heard stories bout people's homes got destructed by fire, and we just think, well, it just happens, and we'll never 'appreciate' the event, till we are part of the story. But the 'story' of deaths, life after death, will be experienced only once. And it's just either we make it, or being dead regret. Just a reminder for myself :D. Cheers :D :D!

Dol, XM Dol!!

Assalamualaikum :)..

summer semester near comes to an end. After nearly 6 weeks of struggle, reading tutorial materials, doin essay(!!), cecil tests, and.. trust me, challenging lectures (ngntok~), finally, one final week of class left. Unfortunately for me, History 103G also consists of one 2-hour final paper (16 Feb '09 -> 1415 - 1630). And it's, well, as expected from a history paper, essay writings.

Well..
All d best for those who're struggling for their finals this semester. The people who sacrifice their summer holiday for classes, and academic stuffs. May our efforts blessed by Him, i'Allah. Yosh!!!

Only Spit Upwards Where Gravity Can't Haunt You :D

Assalamualaikum :)

1st of all, regarding my previous post:

'... so-called holocaust of 6 mil of Jews by the Nazis in the WWII ... might be a giant hoax of the century'

I know it sounds controversial. I never intended to be a holocaust denier (so as to be a holocaust supporter) as the knowledge I received isn't enuff for me to take side. The statement came out when I spent a little more than 4 hours of my life, watching this documentary -> "one third of holocaust". So, I'm humbly apologise if my statement somehow disturbing. :D.

2ndly
Man, I'm tired of this already. What's up with Malaysian politics? Didn't we finished our GE nearly a year ago? Juz do the job already. Stop arguing as who're supposed to be in power. The people have decide, so..?

Perak..
Haiih. 1st the case of 'hopping' party. Then to topple the elected state govt. I dont wanna discuss this issue here, as we can find a lot of relating resources all over the net. I'm just sick of this. With the media manipulating the situation (or being manipulated?).

Yes. The media. the so-called mainstream media!! the platform where we should get unbiased report of issues. Doubt me? Read Utusan Malaysia. Read how totally bias the newspaper towards govt. How extremely bias the reports against the opposition parties. The difference in their tone. I'm a supporter of neither (as I can't show my support in politics, yet), just, this is insane!

When Dato' Sri Anwar Ibrahim stated there would be several MPs from BN would change their side to PR, the response were absolutely thundering. With academic figures (not to mention political figures) stating the action is immoral , doesn't respect the country's law and the people's trust etc etc. But when the exact same thing happened to the other side of the political power, well, it's somehow, suddenly, acceptable.

I'm not critisizing the action of 'hopping' party here (I don't want to, not to say I'm agree or disagree). I want to critisize how the so-called mainstream media play their role. How Utusan Malaysia 'legalise' this action, where several months back, their voices towards the issue were different. Bear in mind that Utusan Malaysia isn't suppose to be a political party newspaper, unlike Harakah of course, where they state clearly they're sold for PAS members only.

They (Utusan Malaysia) abuse the trust given by the people to provide unbiased reports. They're more accessible and widely accepted by the people. So why then, they have an inclined views regarding to political matters?

Just to name a case:

How in Utusan Malaysia, it's repeatedly stated that Ir Nizar should respect the decision of the Sultan of Perak (they even put 'titah Sultan' in their report)
vs
Their reports of BN's reaction towards the Terengganu's when the Sultan decide not to accept BN's candidate for MB.

It's not the matter of who's right or wrong. Just deliver the news as they're. Don't put your political views in the reports. It is really, well, annoying. Coz we're not that dumb to not realize how bias you're.

It's like we're being forced to accept the 'formal' view of issues (can we say..brainwashed?). How can we decide when our source of information has clearly chose their side, when they should be neutral.

A country isn't all about politics. it's not about few people in power to make critical decision of the nation (as how history proves, the elites can be thrown out overnight) . It's about how we should work together to steer the country. The country isn't exclusively one's property. It's ours. Malaysians.

The situation here - as in my naive and unmatured - politically - views - seems like people are more willing to struggle for power rather than to struggle for the sake of the country. The never ending drama of the struggle for the prime spot in our small country's head of administration. Don't they get tired?

Just a humble reminder for Muslims. We should remember that we're all going to be judged. Try our best not to cross the limits set by Allah (as we have countlessly crossed, try to not add another). In front of Him, we're all going to be the same, regardless how powerful we might have been, or how many million (or even billion, or even more) dollars we have saved. What we might have now aren't supposed to be seen as priviledges, rather, liabilities. The more we enjoy our 'priviledges', the heavier the responsibilities are.

I'm sorry Utusan Malaysia. I'm just expressing my views. I didn't have any grudge against you though, it's just I'm sick of the situation rite now.


Jz sharin my 2cents. Cheers :D

Whys and Hows

warning: the post might contain profane language that reflects the author's disapproval of things, sorry in advance. I am not an anti-semites. My posts aren't about anti-semitism either. I strongly disregard racism. They're many more good Jews as there're no less of bad Muslims.

Assalamualaikum :)..

Why..
are we restrained from questioning the so-called holocaust of 6 mil of Jews by the Nazis in the WWII, when there're not few proofs the holocaust might be a giant hoax of the century.

Why..
are we restrained from taking actions towards our Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine and all around the world, while we watched with our own 2 friggin eyes how they're treated!!

How..
Darn stupid we're when we're to believe those blood-sucker bastards when they say they're acting appropiriately towards those friggin home-made missiles by Hamas??

How..
Darn stupid we're when we think Hamas are to be blamed solely for the ongoing conflict. How we stopped our brain from working when we forgot that they're also human beings, who wont retaliate when they're not provoked!(The Israelis are also the same, they wont respond if they're not attacked. Soo damn right!!)

How..
in this situation, we still don't realize that we are too dependent on others. "let the govt. decide", "let the Arab League make the decision", "let the UN work it out". We feel we're useless midgets who don't possess any power to help our oppressed brothers and sisters, that we need others to work for us.

How..
are we going to stand before Allah and answer Him. When our Muslim brothers and sisters blame us for their sufferings. They blame us for doing nothing. When they blame us with our silence towards their ill-treatment. When they blame us, for being bloody selfish!!

How..
despite all these mixed feelings, the anger, sadness, and guilt, I still feel I can do not much to reduce their burden :(
